Question Object in fuel tank?

Hi there.

Last evening i was flying around in my C-152. On my way back I stopped to drop off a passenger and to check the fuel. When i took the lid of the tank I noticed that the metal chain that connects the lid to the wing (you know what i'm talking about?) was missing. I am pretty sure that it was connected when I left earlier that day because I filled her up then, so the chain must be in the tank. So my questions are:

-can i still fly the plane with the chain in (given that i will have it removed within a few weeks) or is the airplane grounded?

-how can i remove it? magnet? any ideas?

All help/advice appreciated
